Toxicology

Toxicology is the scientific study of the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms. It involves the detection, identification and quantification of the toxicants, their metabolic fate, and their effects on the physiology and behaviour of the exposed organism. Toxicology is an important field of study as it can help to identify and understand the potential risks of chemicals and other hazardous materials, leading to the development of safer products and practices to protect humans, animals, and the environment from harm.
